The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Overall in good, decorative condition. With typical scattered light nicks, faint marks, minor surface scuffs and scratches, as to be expected with age and use. With a polished finish. The top with a repaired split to one side, with some very minor infill and slight discoloration to the stain, not readily noticeable. The underside support re-glued as a result, not visible when placed. The veneer with some very minor lifting and cracking, particularly along the edge of the table, and with some small patch repairs. With some very minor losses along the extreme edges to the veneer, primarily on the base, as to be expected with age and use. With typical scattered age cracks. One leg of the base with a repaired break, now stable. With some minor flaking and small chipped losses to the painted decoration on the paw feet, not extensive and consistent with use.
